Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report writes Tuesday that the Nets are active in discussions leading up to the unofficial start of trade season on Wednesday and “surprisingly” are willing to talk about moving Joe Harris, but the price would be high.
For now, Brooklyn stands atop the Eastern Conference, and moving Harden for Simmons makes little sense for Sean Marks’ braintrust, especially as Kyrie Irving remains inactive. Yet Brooklyn appears eager to upgrade its roster ahead of the trade deadline and Harden’s impending free agency. It’s clear these Nets are not the juggernaut title favorite that entered training camp.
